Building Confident Writers

Writing can feel intimidating for many students — especially those with dyslexia, ADHD, or who just don’t know where to start. At Hammond Bell, we take the fear out of the blank page. Using step-by-step instruction and tools like outlines and checklists, we help students organize their thoughts, build strong sentences, and grow into confident writers.

​

Instead of asking students to “just write” (which can feel impossible), our programs break writing into manageable pieces and provide tools and checklists to guide the process. Students learn how to take notes, outline, and gradually build skills—from short summaries to full essays.

How Hammond Bell is Different

Our tutors bring in multisensory and individualized strategies to make writing accessible for every student:

​

  • Adapting lessons with visual aids, sentence-building activities, and color-coding for students with dyslexia.

  • Connecting writing to reading and spelling instruction so all literacy skills grow together.

  • Using high-interest topics and student choice to keep engagement high.

  • Offering consistent encouragement so students begin to see themselves as writers — not kids who “have to write.”
